Earlier today, Gates took part in an AMA on the popular social platform, Reddit, and answered fans’ questions. In an interesting turn of events, he revealed that his current go-to gadget is Samsung’s latest foldable, Galaxy Z Fold 4. This was surprising for some people who expected he would prefer Microsoft’s own foldable smartphone, Surface Duo.
Praising Samsung’s smartphone, the Microsoft creator said, “The screen size means I don’t use a tablet but just the phone and my portable PC …”
From South Korea with love
Another quite interesting fact Gates shared was that this Galaxy Z Fold 4 was actually gifted to him by none other than Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong. This reportedly happened during the American billionaire’s visit to the Asian country. Moreover, he mentioned it was an upgrade from Galaxy Z Fold 3, meaning this isn’t the first time he has opted to use a Samsung foldable for his daily needs.
A Windows machine is still his choice for desktop and laptop
Besides the foldable smartphone, Gates relies on a Windows desktop PC and Windows laptop for day-to-day requirements. Furthermore, he shared that even though he uses a Samsung smartphone, a chunk of his time is spent using Microsoft software on it, such as Outlook.
Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 is the South Korean tech firm’s most premium foldable offering. It was launched in August 2022, alongside its cousin Galaxy Flip 4 at the Galaxy Unpacked showcase. With another Unpacked showcase taking place later this year, we can expect to see the next iteration of their foldable smartphones, viz Galaxy Z Fold4 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5.
